Who all got their Comic-c’on?

Who all got their Comic-c’on?
Another Comic-con has come and gone. I didn’t go. I never do. I had a healthy interest in comics as a kid — I even wanted to be a cartoonist for a time — but honestly began focusing more on collecting recordings as a teen and never looked back. Checking out all the hype this year, though, it does sound like there are some pretty cool events for a nerdy voice-over-actor type to attend. Also, a good excuse to go to San Diego. It’s hard to ignore the increasing spectacle in the world of entertainment that it has become in the last few years — this “celebration of the comic arts”.

The thing evidently started in 1970 as a sci-fi/comic convention and featured trailblazing author Ray Bradbury. With his appearance, the grandeur of the event was pretty much cast. He was evidently back this year! So was Stan Lee!

With a dizzying array of comic artists, voice-over actors, designers, animators, producers, writers, indimensional aliens and casual observers, it’s more than that at which one could shake a copy of “Swamp Thing No. 8″.

June Foray was there, too — Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Billy West, Jeff Bennett, Matt Maiellaro, Dana Snyder, Crispin Freeman, members of the Venture Bros. cast, Liz Macke said she saw Stan Freberg, the list goes on and on.

Did you go? Have you ever been?

What are your experiences at Comic-con or any impressions of it? This pic reminds me why I haven’t been.

But my Spidey sense tells me a good time was had by all.
